When will the rewards be redeemed?? Completed the MW challenges, and got the C-bills and MC, but the cockpit items havent shown up yet!?

If it isn't showing up, was it redeemed through the site or through the game?

The site redeeming seems to be very slow lately. Got my stuff the next day.
Game redeeming seems to be instant.

(Also note the cockpit items, you get one of each so once it is placed into a mech, you gotta take it back out to put it into another.)

So I've got all but the "500" match score. Closest I got so far is 480.

But in celebration of the rest...
A shot I took earlier of my founder Atlas (default) and with the paintjob it had after all this dust.

Meant to share this earlier.

About to go to bed, so doing Jenner and Locust for now.

Founder's Jen default and Crusader patterns in the Zhizhu colors.

My Locust; first is default, second is what I started running after I changed from the joke build (which got me everything but the kills) to a decent one.

I wanted a neat angle but getting into the same spot with the guy was a pain, so I ended up starting on this...and just taking a shot of the paint in every pattern I have... and because I had one space left, I threw in my Pirate's Bane.

The one with the search light is the Crusader pattern.

If you are running clan pack events next weekend will the clan packages in the store be on sale as well?
If they are 50% off I may pick one up to participate in some the challenges. It would also give others a chance to participate in more than just the basic part of the event. Thanks.

I'm left with questions. I'm just trying to cover the bases here, and I do not assume anything about you. Did you possibly mistake your Damage Dealt for your Match Score? Have you checked the In-Game Event Browser? Did you take Screenshots, in order to be able to Contact Support with proof in-hand?

Are you sure you're not confusing damage with match score?

[ImperialKnight]

4 kills, 3 assists, 2 solo, 3 KMDD, 629 dmg = 431 match score. 500, LOL.....

so basically you would have to wipe half the enemy team yourself to even have a chance at 500

[Aidan Crenshaw]

Not quite. There are many factors that sum up to the final matchscore. Including weight class and overall performance of the rest of your team, win/loss, bonus achievements...
With similar results I got 526 MS in my 40-tonner.

Assist, spotting, protections, component destruction all count. So does AMS - my silly 4xAMS Piranha can farm 500ms while dealing barely any damage at all.

thx for the help =)

[Aidan Crenshaw]

maybe you got the 500s with one of your Alts.

[Steel Raven]

Been working all week and a little angry that non of my kills in a light counted as a solo kill. Match Maker was so wonky, getting a 500+ score was not in the cards for me this week only doing a couple of PUG drops after work but I could have sworn I got a solo kill three times in ether my Wolfhound or my Urbie.

[D V Devnull]

Well... after my earlier post...

D V Devnull, on 18 January 2019 - 02:19 PM, said:

Folks, I'm sorry to report, but the In-Game climate being shoved down my throat by the MatchMaker has gotten such that I will be physically unable to get much of anything from this Event... and I'm limited to the "MechWarrior Challenges" only. As I type this, I've just been mutilated way too many times due to being put with bad teams, and the chair I was sitting in has been dumped the wrong way on the floor. That's something I usually never do, and things have to get really horrid to make me irrational in that manner. Hell, it wasn't even LRMs that I got killed by, but Direct-Fire Weaponry that's become far too powerful by comparison, and I'm not even touching LRMs myself.

For the note, I think that it would take me a full extra 7-day week to have any chance at finishing this now. I've been broken by what's happened to me on my most recent session.

Good luck out there with the Event... I just don't know if I'll try any more... If you do see me on Your Team, please try to get the rest of the Team which we're with to actually pull their collective acts together. I am just so sick of deaf/dumb Teams that won't think and communicate with each other.

~D. V. "wondering what the point was with these 'Founders & Phoenix Unite MechWarrior Challenges'..." Devnull

...things ended up turning around for me. My only guess is that a heaven-sent miracle (or something like that) happened. At least, that's the only way I can explain it, seeing as I normally do not get lucky twice in a row for Event Completions like this. So, I have managed to finish the Event as of about 22:00 UTC yesterday.

However, I must agree with all those who are angry about that one Challenge after repeatedly falling short of the 500 MS (Which means "Match Score", and NOT something else!) line. It should be tough, but NOT a near-impassable obstacle, particularly when linked with other weaker requirements. My future recommendation is that anything that would have asked for 500 MS be instead set to only ask for 475 MS, so that it does remain tough yet stays away from being hellish upon people. Events are supposed to be fun, instead of being murderous upon the mental health of the Player Base in general. I might have managed to get this one, but I had to allow for being driven insane over it, and that's just not right.

I hope you Founders Package and Phoenix Package folk all enjoy the extra things you had a chance to get. I'll help you make it fall off temporarily on the battlefields.

Now if only we had the ability to make it litter the battlefields a bit, if only for the authentic look of battle, eh?

[General Solo]

That would be true if their was an easy way to see which bolt on's I have are compatible with which mech.
Sadly not
Or maybe I havn't found yet.
